Really nice with the Interviews, more awareness of TL for the Afreeca players is always good.

These writeups really never stop impressing me, great job! The exclusive interviews were really cool, and the wraith spotlight was pretty great too.

people actually like tvt?
didn't wanna be a debbie downer but tvt is absolutely the worst matchup in bw
pvp can be a little bit exciting and at least zvz ends fast
tvt takes fucking forever, there's almost no tense micro, and no matter who wins it wasn't exciting

zvp and tvz are the most fun to watch
pvt is alright
mirror matches kinda blow
Two in harmony surpasses one in perfection.

zvz is almost always boring. tvt and pvp can sometimes be fun to watch (tvt end game, pvp reaver wars)

I'd say it's subjective. I didn't like TvT much, but couple of good games hooked me up and now I enjoy it more than PvP, which I think is truly boring.
TvT is BW chess.

TvT is awesome, but you have to pay close attention to the game. It's more about strategic positioning than micro(although there is more of that than you're implying imo)

That maybe true, but you still need the patience of a saint to get through the preparation, and footsies to get to the part where stuff actually happens.

Don't think you will notice that if you actually play the matchup. There will be many things to do to keep you busy during the game. (Expanding,harassing,blocking harass, keeping check of front lines, more turrets, tech switch to air etc.)

And as a spectator you will appreciate it only if you can notice strategical value behind the player moves rather than watching it like some action movie

TvT is actually pretty "boring" when mass-produced cookie-cutter Terrans (yangsanhyung) play each other. I suppose that could be said of any mirror match up, but Terran is the most formulaic race due to its defensive nature and upgrade efficiency.

(EDIT: Okay, it's not actually boring. Like someone said, many enjoyable aspects of TvTs are like go/chess. But the thing is, when I want to watch a game like go, I just watch go.)

It's pretty darn awesome when players with different styles face each other, like Boxer vs iloveoov in the OSL finals.

The semis were pretty entertaining because the styles of the players were sufficiently varied. It think it will also be the case for the finals. I'm also curious as to what kind of cheese will be attempted for the sake of (or just taking advantage of) BO5 mind games and when.
